Are you intimidated by the idea of knitting sweaters? If so, check out The Knitchicks' Guide to Sweaters by Marcelle Karp and Pauline Wall. It provides a great overview of the skills needed to knit a garment as well as 25 different options for sweaters and tops for women, kids and men.
The patterns are mostly pretty basic with little embellishments like eyelets, a bit of Fair Isle or a cable. A wide range of sizes are offered, and several of the sweaters are sized based on your chest measurement plus ease, which requires you to do a little math (not to mention a gauge swatch) but also helps you really understand how a sweater goes together.
For knitters with more experience, these classic designs would be quick to knit for gifts or a little special something to keep yourself warm when days and nights are cool.

Dear Sarah, I am a 50 year knitter and have been trying to do Entrelac nitting for the first time. I was wondering if there is a good place to find all the directions that are easily printable. I found the first triangle row but I have done that its the second step and on that I need. I have several; books that have directions but none of them are entirely clear. Desperate to Entrelac, Kathy
